Sure Haven Addiction Treatment Center will be offering a free educational webinar, “Love Addiction 101” on February 13 starting at 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. Registration is currently open and available online at loveaddiction.eventbrite.com.

During the webinar, participants will learn about love addiction, which will include information on warning signs or behavior that may indicate the addiction.

Other topics such as assessment and treatment options will also be discussed.
